![]() ![]() I have demonstrated chord constructions on a piano for this blog as it’s a lot easier to visualise notes on a piano than a guitar because the sharps and flats are thoughtfully coloured in. For example if we want to make a C major chord we go through the scale of c major (no sharps or flats) and pick out the first, third and fifth notes that we get to aka C, E and G. These will be notes 1, 3 and 5 of the relevant scale so to make a major triad you take notes 1, 3 and 5 of the major scale and stack them up together. The simplest type of chord is called a “triad” aka three notes stacked up on top of each other. These are called “major”, “minor” and “dominant”. When you first discover the vast selection of chords with numbers in, it can seem like a giant, scary music theory melange… In this blog I am going to be explaining how chords are named and hopefully demystifying this confusing subject for beginner guitarists! I am often asked questions like “what’s the difference between a major and a dominant 7 chord” or “why is this an add 9 chord not a 9 chord”.

The Bb7 is the fifth chord in the key of Db.The Bb7 chord is produced by taking the 1 (root), 3, 5 and b7 of the B flat Major scale.The Bb7 chord contains the notes Bb, D, F and Ab.If you’ve come to this page just to view some chord diagrams for Bb7, here they are. For example, the B flat dominant 7 chord resolves to the Eb Major chord (which is the first chord in the key of Eb) 10 Ways To Play The Bb7 Chord The dominant 7 chord functions as a chord that resolves to the first chord in a key. The dominant 7 chord is a significant chord, because it plays a very important function in any given key. ![]() B flat 7 is a common chord in Jazz.īb7 is short for Bb dominant 7. It is essentially an Bb chord, with an added flat 7.īb7 is most commonly played as a bar chord in the 6th fret (first shape below). It is produced by taking the root (1), 3, 5 and b7 of the Bb Major scale. The Bb7 (B flat dominant 7) chord contains the notes Bb, D, F and Ab. ![]()
